AacAudioDescriptionBroadcasterMix

Choose BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD when the input contains pre-mixed main audio + audio description (AD) as a stereo pair. The value for AudioType will be set to 3, which signals to downstream systems that this stream contains "broadcaster mixed AD". Note that the input received by the encoder must contain pre-mixed audio; the encoder does not perform the mixing. When you choose BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD, the encoder ignores any values you provide in AudioType and FollowInputAudioType. Choose NORMAL when the input does not contain pre-mixed audio + audio description (AD). In this case, the encoder will use any values you provide for AudioType and FollowInputAudioType.

integer

Minimum: 6000

Maximum: 1024000

Specify the average bitrate in bits per second. The set of valid values for this setting is: 6000, 8000, 10000, 12000, 14000, 16000, 20000, 24000, 28000, 32000, 40000, 48000, 56000, 64000, 80000, 96000, 112000, 128000, 160000, 192000, 224000, 256000, 288000, 320000, 384000, 448000, 512000, 576000, 640000, 768000, 896000, 1024000. The value you set is also constrained by the values that you choose for Profile, Bitrate control mode, and Sample rate. Default values depend on Bitrate control mode and Profile.

AacCodecProfile

Specify the AAC profile. For the widest player compatibility and where higher bitrates are acceptable: Keep the default profile, LC (AAC-LC) For improved audio performance at lower bitrates: Choose HEV1 or HEV2. HEV1 (AAC-HE v1) adds spectral band replication to improve speech audio at low bitrates. HEV2 (AAC-HE v2) adds parametric stereo, which optimizes for encoding stereo audio at very low bitrates.

AacCodingMode

The Coding mode that you specify determines the number of audio channels and the audio channel layout metadata in your AAC output. Valid coding modes depend on the Rate control mode and Profile that you select. The following list shows the number of audio channels and channel layout for each coding mode. * 1.0 Audio Description (Receiver Mix): One channel, C. Includes audio description data from your stereo input. For more information see ETSI TS 101 154 Annex E. * 1.0 Mono: One channel, C. * 2.0 Stereo: Two channels, L, R. * 5.1 Surround: Six channels, C, L, R, Ls, Rs, LFE.

AacRateControlMode

Specify the AAC rate control mode. For a constant bitrate: Choose CBR. Your AAC output bitrate will be equal to the value that you choose for Bitrate. For a variable bitrate: Choose VBR. Your AAC output bitrate will vary according to your audio content and the value that you choose for Bitrate quality.

AacRawFormat

Enables LATM/LOAS AAC output. Note that if you use LATM/LOAS AAC in an output, you must choose "No container" for the output container.

integer

Minimum: 8000

Maximum: 96000

Specify the AAC sample rate in samples per second (Hz). Valid sample rates depend on the AAC profile and Coding mode that you select. For a list of supported sample rates, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/aac-support.html

AacSpecification

Use MPEG-2 AAC instead of MPEG-4 AAC audio for raw or MPEG-2 Transport Stream containers.

AacVbrQuality

Specify the quality of your variable bitrate (VBR) AAC audio. For a list of approximate VBR bitrates, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/aac-support.html#aac_vbr

integer

Minimum: 64000

Maximum: 640000

Specify the average bitrate in bits per second. The bitrate that you specify must be a multiple of 8000 within the allowed minimum and maximum values. Leave blank to use the default bitrate for the coding mode you select according ETSI TS 102 366. Valid bitrates for coding mode 1/0: Default: 96000. Minimum: 64000. Maximum: 128000. Valid bitrates for coding mode 1/1: Default: 192000. Minimum: 128000. Maximum: 384000. Valid bitrates for coding mode 2/0: Default: 192000. Minimum: 128000. Maximum: 384000. Valid bitrates for coding mode 3/2 with FLE: Default: 384000. Minimum: 384000. Maximum: 640000.

Specify the bitstream mode for the AC-3 stream that the encoder emits. For more information about the AC3 bitstream mode, see ATSC A/52-2012 (Annex E).

Ac3CodingMode

Dolby Digital coding mode. Determines number of channels.

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 31

Sets the dialnorm for the output. If blank and input audio is Dolby Digital, dialnorm will be passed through.

Ac3DynamicRangeCompressionLine

Choose the Dolby Digital dynamic range control (DRC) profile that MediaConvert uses when encoding the metadata in the Dolby Digital stream for the line operating mode. Related setting: When you use this setting, MediaConvert ignores any value you provide for Dynamic range compression profile. For information about the Dolby Digital DRC operating modes and profiles, see the Dynamic Range Control chapter of the Dolby Metadata Guide at https://developer.dolby.com/globalassets/professional/documents/dolby-metadata-guide.pdf.

Ac3DynamicRangeCompressionProfile

When you want to add Dolby dynamic range compression (DRC) signaling to your output stream, we recommend that you use the mode-specific settings instead of Dynamic range compression profile. The mode-specific settings are Dynamic range compression profile, line mode and Dynamic range compression profile, RF mode. Note that when you specify values for all three settings, MediaConvert ignores the value of this setting in favor of the mode-specific settings. If you do use this setting instead of the mode-specific settings, choose None to leave out DRC signaling. Keep the default Film standard to set the profile to Dolby's film standard profile for all operating modes.

Ac3DynamicRangeCompressionRf

Choose the Dolby Digital dynamic range control (DRC) profile that MediaConvert uses when encoding the metadata in the Dolby Digital stream for the RF operating mode. Related setting: When you use this setting, MediaConvert ignores any value you provide for Dynamic range compression profile. For information about the Dolby Digital DRC operating modes and profiles, see the Dynamic Range Control chapter of the Dolby Metadata Guide at https://developer.dolby.com/globalassets/professional/documents/dolby-metadata-guide.pdf.

Ac3LfeFilter

Applies a 120Hz lowpass filter to the LFE channel prior to encoding. Only valid with 3_2_LFE coding mode.

Ac3MetadataControl

When set to FOLLOW_INPUT, encoder metadata will be sourced from the DD, DD+, or DolbyE decoder that supplied this audio data. If audio was not supplied from one of these streams, then the static metadata settings will be used.

Maximum: 192000

Sample rate in Hz.

AudioChannelTag

Specify the QuickTime audio channel layout tags for the audio channels in this audio track. Enter channel layout tags in the same order as your output's audio channel order. For example, if your output audio track has a left and a right channel, enter Left (L) for the first channel and Right (R) for the second. If your output has multiple single-channel audio tracks, enter a single channel layout tag for each track.

Array of type AudioChannelTag

Specify the QuickTime audio channel layout tags for the audio channels in this audio track. Enter channel layout tags in the same order as your output's audio channel order. For example, if your output audio track has a left and a right channel, enter Left (L) for the first channel and Right (R) for the second. If your output has multiple single-channel audio tracks, enter a single channel layout tag for each track.

AacSettings

Required when you set Codec to the value AAC. The service accepts one of two mutually exclusive groups of AAC settings--VBR and CBR. To select one of these modes, set the value of Bitrate control mode to "VBR" or "CBR". In VBR mode, you control the audio quality with the setting VBR quality. In CBR mode, you use the setting Bitrate. Defaults and valid values depend on the rate control mode.

Ac3Settings

Required when you set Codec to the value AC3.

AiffSettings

Required when you set Codec to the value AIFF.

AudioCodec

Choose the audio codec for this output. Note that the option Dolby Digital passthrough applies only to Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus audio inputs. Make sure that you choose a codec that's supported with your output container: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/reference-codecs-containers.html#reference-codecs-containers-output-audio For audio-only outputs, make sure that both your input audio codec and your output audio codec are supported for audio-only workflows. For more information, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/reference-codecs-containers-input.html#reference-codecs-containers-input-audio-only and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/reference-codecs-containers.html#audio-only-output

VorbisSettings

Required when you set Codec, under AudioDescriptions>CodecSettings, to the value Vorbis.

WavSettings

Required when you set Codec to the value WAV.

AudioChannelTaggingSettings

Specify the QuickTime audio channel layout tags for the audio channels in this audio track. When you don't specify a value, MediaConvert labels your track as Center (C) by default. To use Audio layout tagging, your output must be in a QuickTime (MOV) container and your audio codec must be AAC, WAV, or AIFF.

AudioNormalizationSettings

Advanced audio normalization settings. Ignore these settings unless you need to comply with a loudness standard.

string

Specifies which audio data to use from each input. In the simplest case, specify an "Audio Selector":#inputs-audio_selector by name based on its order within each input. For example if you specify "Audio Selector 3", then the third audio selector will be used from each input. If an input does not have an "Audio Selector 3", then the audio selector marked as "default" in that input will be used. If there is no audio selector marked as "default", silence will be inserted for the duration of that input. Alternatively, an "Audio Selector Group":#inputs-audio_selector_group name may be specified, with similar default/silence behavior. If no audio_source_name is specified, then "Audio Selector 1" will be chosen automatically.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 255

Applies only if Follow Input Audio Type is unchecked (false). A number between 0 and 255. The following are defined in ISO-IEC 13818-1: 0 = Undefined, 1 = Clean Effects, 2 = Hearing Impaired, 3 = Visually Impaired Commentary, 4-255 = Reserved.

AudioTypeControl

When set to FOLLOW_INPUT, if the input contains an ISO 639 audio_type, then that value is passed through to the output. If the input contains no ISO 639 audio_type, the value in Audio Type is included in the output. Otherwise the value in Audio Type is included in the output. Note that this field and audioType are both ignored if audioDescriptionBroadcasterMix is set to BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD.

AudioCodecSettings

Settings related to audio encoding. The settings in this group vary depending on the value that you choose for your audio codec.

string

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z]{2,3}(-[A-Za-z0-9-]+)?$

Specify the language for this audio output track. The service puts this language code into your output audio track when you set Language code control to Use configured. The service also uses your specified custom language code when you set Language code control to Follow input, but your input file doesn't specify a language code. For all outputs, you can use an ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3 code. For streaming outputs, you can also use any other code in the full RFC-5646 specification. Streaming outputs are those that are in one of the following output groups: CMAF, DASH ISO, Apple HLS, or Microsoft Smooth Streaming.

LanguageCode

Indicates the language of the audio output track. The ISO 639 language specified in the 'Language Code' drop down will be used when 'Follow Input Language Code' is not selected or when 'Follow Input Language Code' is selected but there is no ISO 639 language code specified by the input.

AudioLanguageCodeControl

Specify which source for language code takes precedence for this audio track. When you choose Follow input, the service uses the language code from the input track if it's present. If there's no languge code on the input track, the service uses the code that you specify in the setting Language code. When you choose Use configured, the service uses the language code that you specify.

RemixSettings

Advanced audio remixing settings.

string

Pattern: ^[\w\s]*$

Specify a label for this output audio stream. For example, "English", "Director commentary", or "track_2". For streaming outputs, MediaConvert passes this information into destination manifests for display on the end-viewer's player device. For outputs in other output groups, the service ignores this setting.

AudioNormalizationAlgorithm

Choose one of the following audio normalization algorithms: ITU-R BS.1770-1: Ungated loudness. A measurement of ungated average loudness for an entire piece of content, suitable for measurement of short-form content under ATSC recommendation A/85. Supports up to 5.1 audio channels. ITU-R BS.1770-2: Gated loudness. A measurement of gated average loudness compliant with the requirements of EBU-R128. Supports up to 5.1 audio channels. ITU-R BS.1770-3: Modified peak. The same loudness measurement algorithm as 1770-2, with an updated true peak measurement. ITU-R BS.1770-4: Higher channel count. Allows for more audio channels than the other algorithms, including configurations such as 7.1.

AudioNormalizationAlgorithmControl

When enabled the output audio is corrected using the chosen algorithm. If disabled, the audio will be measured but not adjusted.

integer

Minimum: -70

Maximum: 0

Content measuring above this level will be corrected to the target level. Content measuring below this level will not be corrected.

AudioNormalizationLoudnessLogging

If set to LOG, log each output's audio track loudness to a CSV file.

AudioNormalizationPeakCalculation

If set to TRUE_PEAK, calculate and log the TruePeak for each output's audio track loudness.

number

Format: float

Minimum: -59.0

Maximum: 0.0

When you use Audio normalization, optionally use this setting to specify a target loudness. If you don't specify a value here, the encoder chooses a value for you, based on the algorithm that you choose for Algorithm. If you choose algorithm 1770-1, the encoder will choose -24 LKFS; otherwise, the encoder will choose -23 LKFS.

number

Format: float

Minimum: -8.0

Maximum: 0.0

Specify the True-peak limiter threshold in decibels relative to full scale (dBFS). The peak inter-audio sample loudness in your output will be limited to the value that you specify, without affecting the overall target LKFS. Enter a value from 0 to -8. Leave blank to use the default value 0.

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 10

Use this setting only when you set Rate control mode to QVBR. Specify the target quality level for this output. MediaConvert determines the right number of bits to use for each part of the video to maintain the video quality that you specify. When you keep the default value, AUTO, MediaConvert picks a quality level for you, based on characteristics of your input video. If you prefer to specify a quality level, specify a number from 1 through 10. Use higher numbers for greater quality. Level 10 results in nearly lossless compression. The quality level for most broadcast-quality transcodes is between 6 and 9. Optionally, to specify a value between whole numbers, also provide a value for the setting qvbrQualityLevelFineTune. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

number

Format: float

Minimum: 0.0

Maximum: 1.0

Optional. Specify a value here to set the QVBR quality to a level that is between whole numbers. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33. MediaConvert rounds your QVBR quality level to the nearest third of a whole number. For example, if you set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and you set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .25, your actual QVBR quality level is 7.33.

Av1AdaptiveQuantization

Specify the strength of any adaptive quantization filters that you enable. The value that you choose here applies to Spatial adaptive quantization.

Av1BitDepth

Specify the Bit depth. You can choose 8-bit or 10-bit.

Av1FilmGrainSynthesis

Film grain synthesis replaces film grain present in your content with similar quality synthesized AV1 film grain. We recommend that you choose Enabled to reduce the bandwidth of your QVBR quality level 5, 6, 7, or 8 outputs. For QVBR quality level 9 or 10 outputs we recommend that you keep the default value, Disabled. When you include Film grain synthesis, you cannot include the Noise reducer preprocessor.

Av1FramerateControl

Use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction.

Av1FramerateConversionAlgorithm

Choose the method that you want MediaConvert to use when increasing or decreasing the frame rate. For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

number

Format: float

Minimum: 0.0

Specify the GOP length (keyframe interval) in frames. With AV1, MediaConvert doesn't support GOP length in seconds. This value must be greater than zero and preferably equal to 1 + ((numberBFrames + 1) * x), where x is an integer value.

integer

Minimum: 1000

Maximum: 1152000000

Maximum bitrate in bits/second. For example, enter five megabits per second as 5000000. Required when Rate control mode is QVBR.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 15

Specify from the number of B-frames, in the range of 0-15. For AV1 encoding, we recommend using 7 or 15. Choose a larger number for a lower bitrate and smaller file size; choose a smaller number for better video quality.

Av1QvbrSettings

Settings for quality-defined variable bitrate encoding with the H.265 codec. Use these settings only when you set QVBR for Rate control mode.

Av1RateControlMode

'With AV1 outputs, for rate control mode, MediaConvert supports only quality-defined variable bitrate (QVBR). You can''t use CBR or VBR.'

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 32

Specify the number of slices per picture. This value must be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32. For progressive pictures, this value must be less than or equal to the number of macroblock rows. For interlaced pictures, this value must be less than or equal to half the number of macroblock rows.

Av1SpatialAdaptiveQuantization

Keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on spatial variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas that can sustain more distortion with no noticeable visual degradation and uses more bits on areas where any small distortion will be noticeable. For example, complex textured blocks are encoded with fewer bits and smooth textured blocks are encoded with more bits. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen with a lot of complex texture, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable spatial adaptive quantization, set the value for Adaptive quantization depending on your content. For homogeneous content, such as cartoons and video games, set it to Low. For content with a wider variety of textures, set it to High or Higher.

AvcIntraClass

Specify the AVC-Intra class of your output. The AVC-Intra class selection determines the output video bit rate depending on the frame rate of the output. Outputs with higher class values have higher bitrates and improved image quality. Note that for Class 4K/2K, MediaConvert supports only 4:2:2 chroma subsampling.

AvcIntraUhdSettings

Optional when you set AVC-Intra class to Class 4K/2K. When you set AVC-Intra class to a different value, this object isn't allowed.

AvcIntraFramerateControl

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction.

AvcIntraFramerateConversionAlgorithm

Choose the method that you want MediaConvert to use when increasing or decreasing the frame rate. For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 1001

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

integer

Minimum: 24

Maximum: 60000

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

AvcIntraInterlaceMode

Choose the scan line type for the output. Keep the default value, Progressive to create a progressive output, regardless of the scan type of your input. Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

AvcIntraScanTypeConversionMode

Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing. Required settings: To use optimized interlacing, you must set Telecine to None or Soft. You can't use optimized interlacing for hard telecine outputs. You must also set Interlace mode to a value other than Progressive.

AvcIntraSlowPal

Ignore this setting unless your input frame rate is 23.976 or 24 frames per second (fps). Enable slow PAL to create a 25 fps output. When you enable slow PAL, MediaConvert relabels the video frames to 25 fps and resamples your audio to keep it synchronized with the video. Note that enabling this setting will slightly reduce the duration of your video. Required settings: You must also set Framerate to 25.

AvcIntraTelecine

When you do frame rate conversion from 23.976 frames per second (fps) to 29.97 fps, and your output scan type is interlaced, you can optionally enable hard telecine to create a smoother picture. When you keep the default value, None, MediaConvert does a standard frame rate conversion to 29.97 without doing anything with the field polarity to create a smoother picture.

AvcIntraUhdQualityTuningLevel

Optional. Use Quality tuning level to choose how many transcoding passes MediaConvert does with your video. When you choose Multi-pass, your video quality is better and your output bitrate is more accurate. That is, the actual bitrate of your output is closer to the target bitrate defined in the specification. When you choose Single-pass, your encoding time is faster. The default behavior is Single-pass.

BandwidthReductionFilterSharpening

Optionally specify the level of sharpening to apply when you use the Bandwidth reduction filter. Sharpening adds contrast to the edges of your video content and can reduce softness. Keep the default value Off to apply no sharpening. Set Sharpening strength to Low to apply a minimal amount of sharpening, or High to apply a maximum amount of sharpening.

BandwidthReductionFilterStrength

Specify the strength of the Bandwidth reduction filter. For most workflows, we recommend that you choose Auto to reduce the bandwidth of your output with little to no perceptual decrease in video quality. For high quality and high bitrate outputs, choose Low. For the most bandwidth reduction, choose High. We recommend that you choose High for low bitrate outputs. Note that High may incur a slight increase in the softness of your output.

BurninSubtitleAlignment

Specify the alignment of your captions. If no explicit x_position is provided, setting alignment to centered will placethe captions at the bottom center of the output. Similarly, setting a left alignment willalign captions to the bottom left of the output. If x and y positions are given in conjunction with the alignment parameter, the font will be justified (either left or centered) relative to those coordinates.

BurninSubtitleApplyFontColor

Ignore this setting unless Style passthrough is set to Enabled and Font color set to Black, Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, or Hex. Use Apply font color for additional font color controls. When you choose White text only, or leave blank, your font color setting only applies to white text in your input captions. For example, if your font color setting is Yellow, and your input captions have red and white text, your output captions will have red and yellow text. When you choose ALL_TEXT, your font color setting applies to all of your output captions text.

BurninSubtitleBackgroundColor

Specify the color of the rectangle behind the captions. Leave background color blank and set Style passthrough to enabled to use the background color data from your input captions, if present.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 255

Specify the opacity of the background rectangle. Enter a value from 0 to 255, where 0 is transparent and 255 is opaque. If Style passthrough is set to enabled, leave blank to pass through the background style information in your input captions to your output captions. If Style passthrough is set to disabled, leave blank to use a value of 0 and remove all backgrounds from your output captions.

BurninSubtitleFallbackFont

Specify the font that you want the service to use for your burn in captions when your input captions specify a font that MediaConvert doesn't support. When you set Fallback font to best match, or leave blank, MediaConvert uses a supported font that most closely matches the font that your input captions specify. When there are multiple unsupported fonts in your input captions, MediaConvert matches each font with the supported font that matches best. When you explicitly choose a replacement font, MediaConvert uses that font to replace all unsupported fonts from your input.

BurninSubtitleFontColor

Specify the color of the burned-in captions text. Leave Font color blank and set Style passthrough to enabled to use the font color data from your input captions, if present.

string

Pattern: ^((s3://(.*?)\.(ttf))|(https?://(.*?)\.(ttf)(\?([^&=]+=[^&]+&)*[^&=]+=[^&]+)?))$

Specify the color of the shadow cast by the captions. Leave Shadow color blank and set Style passthrough to enabled to use the shadow color data from your input captions, if present.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 255

Specify the opacity of the shadow. Enter a value from 0 to 255, where 0 is transparent and 255 is opaque. If Style passthrough is set to Enabled, leave Shadow opacity blank to pass through the shadow style information in your input captions to your output captions. If Style passthrough is set to disabled, leave blank to use a value of 0 and remove all shadows from your output captions.

integer

Minimum: -2147483648

Maximum: 2147483647

Specify the horizontal offset of the shadow, relative to the captions in pixels. A value of -2 would result in a shadow offset 2 pixels to the left.

integer

Minimum: -2147483648

Maximum: 2147483647

Specify the vertical offset of the shadow relative to the captions in pixels. A value of -2 would result in a shadow offset 2 pixels above the text. Leave Shadow y-offset blank and set Style passthrough to enabled to use the shadow y-offset data from your input captions, if present.

BurnInSubtitleStylePassthrough

To use the available style, color, and position information from your input captions: Set Style passthrough to Enabled. Note that MediaConvert uses default settings for any missing style or position information in your input captions To ignore the style and position information from your input captions and use default settings: Leave blank or keep the default value, Disabled. Default settings include white text with black outlining, bottom-center positioning, and automatic sizing. Whether you set Style passthrough to enabled or not, you can also choose to manually override any of the individual style and position settings. You can also override any fonts by manually specifying custom font files.

BurninSubtitleTeletextSpacing

Specify whether the text spacing in your captions is set by the captions grid, or varies depending on letter width. Choose fixed grid to conform to the spacing specified in the captions file more accurately. Choose proportional to make the text easier to read for closed captions.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2147483647

Specify the horizontal position of the captions, relative to the left side of the output in pixels. A value of 10 would result in the captions starting 10 pixels from the left of the output. If no explicit x_position is provided, the horizontal caption position will be determined by the alignment parameter.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2147483647

Specify the vertical position of the captions, relative to the top of the output in pixels. A value of 10 would result in the captions starting 10 pixels from the top of the output. If no explicit y_position is provided, the caption will be positioned towards the bottom of the output.

string

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z]{2,3}(-[A-Za-z-]+)?$

Specify the language for this captions output track. For most captions output formats, the encoder puts this language information in the output captions metadata. If your output captions format is DVB-Sub or Burn in, the encoder uses this language information when automatically selecting the font script for rendering the captions text. For all outputs, you can use an ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3 code. For streaming outputs, you can also use any other code in the full RFC-5646 specification. Streaming outputs are those that are in one of the following output groups: CMAF, DASH ISO, Apple HLS, or Microsoft Smooth Streaming.

CaptionDestinationSettings

Settings related to one captions tab on the MediaConvert console. Usually, one captions tab corresponds to one output captions track. Depending on your output captions format, one tab might correspond to a set of output captions tracks. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/including-captions.html.

LanguageCode

Specify the language of this captions output track. For most captions output formats, the encoder puts this language information in the output captions metadata. If your output captions format is DVB-Sub or Burn in, the encoder uses this language information to choose the font language for rendering the captions text.

string

Specify a label for this set of output captions. For example, "English", "Director commentary", or "track_2". For streaming outputs, MediaConvert passes this information into destination manifests for display on the end-viewer's player device. For outputs in other output groups, the service ignores this setting.

BurninDestinationSettings

Burn-in is a captions delivery method, rather than a captions format. Burn-in writes the captions directly on your video frames, replacing pixels of video content with the captions. Set up burn-in captions in the same output as your video. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/burn-in-output-captions.html.

CaptionDestinationType

Specify the format for this set of captions on this output. The default format is embedded without SCTE-20. Note that your choice of video output container constrains your choice of output captions format. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/captions-support-tables.html. If you are using SCTE-20 and you want to create an output that complies with the SCTE-43 spec, choose SCTE-20 plus embedded. To create a non-compliant output where the embedded captions come first, choose Embedded plus SCTE-20.

DvbSubDestinationSettings

Settings related to DVB-Sub captions. Set up DVB-Sub captions in the same output as your video. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/dvb-sub-output-captions.html.

Array of type OutputChannelMapping

In your JSON job specification, include one child of OutputChannels for each audio channel that you want in your output. Each child should contain one instance of InputChannels or InputChannelsFineTune.

integer

Minimum: 90

Maximum: 105

Specify the Maximum RGB color sample range tolerance for your output. MediaConvert corrects any YUV values that, when converted to RGB, would be outside the upper tolerance that you specify. Enter an integer from 90 to 105 as an offset percentage to the maximum possible value. Leave blank to use the default value 100. When you specify a value for Maximum RGB tolerance, you must set Sample range conversion to Limited range clip.

integer

Minimum: 920

Maximum: 1023

Specify the Maximum YUV color sample limit. MediaConvert conforms any pixels in your input above the value that you specify to typical limited range bounds. Enter an integer from 920 to 1023. Leave blank to use the default value 940. The value that you enter applies to 10-bit ranges. For 8-bit ranges, MediaConvert automatically scales this value down. When you specify a value for Maximum YUV, you must set Sample range conversion to Limited range clip.

integer

Minimum: -5

Maximum: 10

Specify the Minimum RGB color sample range tolerance for your output. MediaConvert corrects any YUV values that, when converted to RGB, would be outside the lower tolerance that you specify. Enter an integer from -5 to 10 as an offset percentage to the minimum possible value. Leave blank to use the default value 0. When you specify a value for Minimum RGB tolerance, you must set Sample range conversion to Limited range clip.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 128

Specify the Minimum YUV color sample limit. MediaConvert conforms any pixels in your input below the value that you specify to typical limited range bounds. Enter an integer from 0 to 128. Leave blank to use the default value 64. The value that you enter applies to 10-bit ranges. For 8-bit ranges, MediaConvert automatically scales this value down. When you specify a value for Minumum YUV, you must set Sample range conversion to Limited range clip.

CmfcAudioDuration

Specify this setting only when your output will be consumed by a downstream repackaging workflow that is sensitive to very small duration differences between video and audio. For this situation, choose Match video duration. In all other cases, keep the default value, Default codec duration. When you choose Match video duration, MediaConvert pads the output audio streams with silence or trims them to ensure that the total duration of each audio stream is at least as long as the total duration of the video stream. After padding or trimming, the audio stream duration is no more than one frame longer than the video stream. MediaConvert applies audio padding or trimming only to the end of the last segment of the output. For unsegmented outputs, MediaConvert adds padding only to the end of the file. When you keep the default value, any minor discrepancies between audio and video duration will depend on your output audio codec.

string

Specify the audio rendition group for this audio rendition. Specify up to one value for each audio output in your output group. This value appears in your HLS parent manifest in the EXT-X-MEDIA tag of TYPE=AUDIO, as the value for the GROUP-ID attribute. For example, if you specify "audio_aac_1" for Audio group ID, it appears in your manifest like this: #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="audio_aac_1". Related setting: To associate the rendition group that this audio track belongs to with a video rendition, include the same value that you provide here for that video output's setting Audio rendition sets.

string

List the audio rendition groups that you want included with this video rendition. Use a comma-separated list. For example, say you want to include the audio rendition groups that have the audio group IDs "audio_aac_1" and "audio_dolby". Then you would specify this value: "audio_aac_1,audio_dolby". Related setting: The rendition groups that you include in your comma-separated list should all match values that you specify in the setting Audio group ID for audio renditions in the same output group as this video rendition. Default behavior: If you don't specify anything here and for Audio group ID, MediaConvert puts each audio variant in its own audio rendition group and associates it with every video variant. Each value in your list appears in your HLS parent manifest in the EXT-X-STREAM-INF tag as the value for the AUDIO attribute. To continue the previous example, say that the file name for the child manifest for your video rendition is "amazing_video_1.m3u8". Then, in your parent manifest, each value will appear on separate lines, like this: #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:AUDIO="audio_aac_1"... amazing_video_1.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:AUDIO="audio_dolby"... amazing_video_1.m3u8

CmfcAudioTrackType

Use this setting to control the values that MediaConvert puts in your HLS parent playlist to control how the client player selects which audio track to play. Choose Audio-only variant stream (AUDIO_ONLY_VARIANT_STREAM) for any variant that you want to prohibit the client from playing with video. This causes MediaConvert to represent the variant as an EXT-X-STREAM-INF in the HLS manifest. The other options for this setting determine the values that MediaConvert writes for the DEFAULT and AUTOSELECT attributes of the EXT-X-MEDIA entry for the audio variant. For more information about these attributes, see the Apple documentation article https://developer.apple.com/documentation/http_live_streaming/example_playlists_for_http_live_streaming/adding_alternate_media_to_a_playlist. Choose Alternate audio, auto select, default to set DEFAULT=YES and AUTOSELECT=YES. Choose this value for only one variant in your output group. Choose Alternate audio, auto select, not default to set DEFAULT=NO and AUTOSELECT=YES. Choose Alternate Audio, Not Auto Select to set DEFAULT=NO and AUTOSELECT=NO. When you don't specify a value for this setting, MediaConvert defaults to Alternate audio, auto select, default. When there is more than one variant in your output group, you must explicitly choose a value for this setting.

CmfcDescriptiveVideoServiceFlag

Specify whether to flag this audio track as descriptive video service (DVS) in your HLS parent manifest. When you choose Flag, MediaConvert includes the parameter CHARACTERISTICS="public.accessibility.describes-video" in the EXT-X-MEDIA entry for this track. When you keep the default choice, Don't flag, MediaConvert leaves this parameter out. The DVS flag can help with accessibility on Apple devices. For more information, see the Apple documentation.

CmfcIFrameOnlyManifest

Choose Include to have MediaConvert generate an HLS child manifest that lists only the I-frames for this rendition, in addition to your regular manifest for this rendition. You might use this manifest as part of a workflow that creates preview functions for your video. MediaConvert adds both the I-frame only child manifest and the regular child manifest to the parent manifest. When you don't need the I-frame only child manifest, keep the default value Exclude.

CmfcKlvMetadata

To include key-length-value metadata in this output: Set KLV metadata insertion to Passthrough. MediaConvert reads KLV metadata present in your input and writes each instance to a separate event message box in the output, according to MISB ST1910.1. To exclude this KLV metadata: Set KLV metadata insertion to None or leave blank.

CmfcManifestMetadataSignaling

To add an InbandEventStream element in your output MPD manifest for each type of event message, set Manifest metadata signaling to Enabled. For ID3 event messages, the InbandEventStream element schemeIdUri will be same value that you specify for ID3 metadata scheme ID URI. For SCTE35 event messages, the InbandEventStream element schemeIdUri will be "urn:scte:scte35:2013:bin". To leave these elements out of your output MPD manifest, set Manifest metadata signaling to Disabled. To enable Manifest metadata signaling, you must also set SCTE-35 source to Passthrough, ESAM SCTE-35 to insert, or ID3 metadata to Passthrough.

CmfcScte35Esam

Use this setting only when you specify SCTE-35 markers from ESAM. Choose INSERT to put SCTE-35 markers in this output at the insertion points that you specify in an ESAM XML document. Provide the document in the setting SCC XML.

CmfcScte35Source

Ignore this setting unless you have SCTE-35 markers in your input video file. Choose Passthrough if you want SCTE-35 markers that appear in your input to also appear in this output. Choose None if you don't want those SCTE-35 markers in this output.

CmfcTimedMetadata

To include ID3 metadata in this output: Set ID3 metadata to Passthrough. Specify this ID3 metadata in Custom ID3 metadata inserter. MediaConvert writes each instance of ID3 metadata in a separate Event Message (eMSG) box. To exclude this ID3 metadata: Set ID3 metadata to None or leave blank.

CmfcTimedMetadataBoxVersion

Specify the event message box (eMSG) version for ID3 timed metadata in your output. For more information, see ISO/IEC 23009-1:2022 section 5.10.3.3.3 Syntax. Leave blank to use the default value Version 0. When you specify Version 1, you must also set ID3 metadata to Passthrough.

string

MaxLength: 1000

Specify the event message box (eMSG) scheme ID URI for ID3 timed metadata in your output. For more information, see ISO/IEC 23009-1:2022 section 5.10.3.3.4 Semantics. Leave blank to use the default value: https://aomedia.org/emsg/ID3 When you specify a value for ID3 metadata scheme ID URI, you must also set ID3 metadata to Passthrough.

string

MaxLength: 1000

Specify the event message box (eMSG) value for ID3 timed metadata in your output. For more information, see ISO/IEC 23009-1:2022 section 5.10.3.3.4 Semantics. When you specify a value for ID3 Metadata Value, you must also set ID3 metadata to Passthrough.

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

Brightness level.

ClipLimits

Specify YUV limits and RGB tolerances when you set Sample range conversion to Limited range clip.

ColorSpaceConversion

Specify the color space you want for this output. The service supports conversion between HDR formats, between SDR formats, from SDR to HDR, and from HDR to SDR. SDR to HDR conversion doesn't upgrade the dynamic range. The converted video has an HDR format, but visually appears the same as an unconverted output. HDR to SDR conversion uses tone mapping to approximate the outcome of manually regrading from HDR to SDR. When you specify an output color space, MediaConvert uses the following color space metadata, which includes color primaries, transfer characteristics, and matrix coefficients: * HDR 10: BT.2020, PQ, BT.2020 non-constant * HLG 2020: BT.2020, HLG, BT.2020 non-constant * P3DCI (Theater): DCIP3, SMPTE 428M, BT.709 * P3D65 (SDR): Display P3, sRGB, BT.709 * P3D65 (HDR): Display P3, PQ, BT.709

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

Contrast level.

Hdr10Metadata

Use these settings when you convert to the HDR 10 color space. Specify the SMPTE ST 2086 Mastering Display Color Volume static metadata that you want signaled in the output. These values don't affect the pixel values that are encoded in the video stream. They are intended to help the downstream video player display content in a way that reflects the intentions of the the content creator. When you set Color space conversion to HDR 10, these settings are required. You must set values for Max frame average light level and Max content light level; these settings don't have a default value. The default values for the other HDR 10 metadata settings are defined by the P3D65 color space. For more information about MediaConvert HDR jobs, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/console/mediaconvert/hdr.

HDRToSDRToneMapper

Specify how MediaConvert maps brightness and colors from your HDR input to your SDR output. The mode that you select represents a creative choice, with different tradeoffs in the details and tones of your output. To maintain details in bright or saturated areas of your output: Choose Preserve details. For some sources, your SDR output may look less bright and less saturated when compared to your HDR source. MediaConvert automatically applies this mode for HLG sources, regardless of your choice. For a bright and saturated output: Choose Vibrant. We recommend that you choose this mode when any of your source content is HDR10, and for the best results when it is mastered for 1000 nits. You may notice loss of details in bright or saturated areas of your output. HDR to SDR tone mapping has no effect when your input is SDR.

integer

Minimum: -180

Maximum: 180

Hue in degrees.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2147483647

Specify the maximum mastering display luminance. Enter an integer from 0 to 2147483647, in units of 0.0001 nits. For example, enter 10000000 for 1000 nits.

SampleRangeConversion

Specify how MediaConvert limits the color sample range for this output. To create a limited range output from a full range input: Choose Limited range squeeze. For full range inputs, MediaConvert performs a linear offset to color samples equally across all pixels and frames. Color samples in 10-bit outputs are limited to 64 through 940, and 8-bit outputs are limited to 16 through 235. Note: For limited range inputs, values for color samples are passed through to your output unchanged. MediaConvert does not limit the sample range. To correct pixels in your input that are out of range or out of gamut: Choose Limited range clip. Use for broadcast applications. MediaConvert conforms any pixels outside of the values that you specify under Minimum YUV and Maximum YUV to limited range bounds. MediaConvert also corrects any YUV values that, when converted to RGB, would be outside the bounds you specify under Minimum RGB tolerance and Maximum RGB tolerance. With either limited range conversion, MediaConvert writes the sample range metadata in the output.

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

Saturation level.

integer

Minimum: 100

Maximum: 1000

Specify the reference white level, in nits, for all of your SDR inputs. Use to correct brightness levels within HDR10 outputs. The following color metadata must be present in your SDR input: color primaries, transfer characteristics, and matrix coefficients. If your SDR input has missing color metadata, or if you want to correct input color metadata, manually specify a color space in the input video selector. For 1,000 nit peak brightness displays, we recommend that you set SDR reference white level to 203 (according to ITU-R BT.2408). Leave blank to use the default value of 100, or specify an integer from 100 to 1000.

CmfcSettings

These settings relate to the fragmented MP4 container for the segments in your CMAF outputs.

ContainerType

Container for this output. Some containers require a container settings object. If not specified, the default object will be created.

F4vSettings

Settings for F4v container

M2tsSettings

MPEG-2 TS container settings. These apply to outputs in a File output group when the output's container is MPEG-2 Transport Stream (M2TS). In these assets, data is organized by the program map table (PMT). Each transport stream program contains subsets of data, including audio, video, and metadata. Each of these subsets of data has a numerical label called a packet identifier (PID). Each transport stream program corresponds to one MediaConvert output. The PMT lists the types of data in a program along with their PID. Downstream systems and players use the program map table to look up the PID for each type of data it accesses and then uses the PIDs to locate specific data within the asset.

M3u8Settings

These settings relate to the MPEG-2 transport stream (MPEG2-TS) container for the MPEG2-TS segments in your HLS outputs.

MovSettings

These settings relate to your QuickTime MOV output container.

Mp4Settings

These settings relate to your MP4 output container. You can create audio only outputs with this container. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/supported-codecs-containers-audio-only.html#output-codecs-and-containers-supported-for-audio-only.

MpdSettings

These settings relate to the fragmented MP4 container for the segments in your DASH outputs.

MxfSettings

These settings relate to your MXF output container.

string

Optional. A category for the preset you are creating.

string

Optional. A description of the preset you are creating.

string

The name of the preset you are creating.

PresetSettings

Settings for preset

object

The tags that you want to add to the resource. You can tag resources with a key-value pair or with only a key.

Preset

A preset is a collection of preconfigured media conversion settings that you want MediaConvert to apply to the output during the conversion process.

DeinterlaceAlgorithm

Only applies when you set Deinterlace mode to Deinterlace or Adaptive. Interpolate produces sharper pictures, while blend produces smoother motion. If your source file includes a ticker, such as a scrolling headline at the bottom of the frame: Choose Interpolate ticker or Blend ticker. To apply field doubling: Choose Linear interpolation. Note that Linear interpolation may introduce video artifacts into your output.

DeinterlacerControl

- When set to NORMAL (default), the deinterlacer does not convert frames that are tagged in metadata as progressive. It will only convert those that are tagged as some other type. - When set to FORCE_ALL_FRAMES, the deinterlacer converts every frame to progressive - even those that are already tagged as progressive. Turn Force mode on only if there is a good chance that the metadata has tagged frames as progressive when they are not progressive. Do not turn on otherwise; processing frames that are already progressive into progressive will probably result in lower quality video.

DeinterlacerMode

Use Deinterlacer to choose how the service will do deinterlacing. Default is Deinterlace. - Deinterlace converts interlaced to progressive. - Inverse telecine converts Hard Telecine 29.97i to progressive 23.976p. - Adaptive auto-detects and converts to progressive.

DolbyVisionLevel6Metadata

Use these settings when you set DolbyVisionLevel6Mode to SPECIFY to override the MaxCLL and MaxFALL values in your input with new values.

DolbyVisionLevel6Mode

Use Dolby Vision Mode to choose how the service will handle Dolby Vision MaxCLL and MaxFALL properies.

DolbyVisionMapping

Required when you set Dolby Vision Profile to Profile 8.1. When you set Content mapping to None, content mapping is not applied to the HDR10-compatible signal. Depending on the source peak nit level, clipping might occur on HDR devices without Dolby Vision. When you set Content mapping to HDR10 1000, the transcoder creates a 1,000 nits peak HDR10-compatible signal by applying static content mapping to the source. This mode is speed-optimized for PQ10 sources with metadata that is created from analysis. For graded Dolby Vision content, be aware that creative intent might not be guaranteed with extreme 1,000 nits trims.

DolbyVisionProfile

Required when you enable Dolby Vision. Use Profile 5 to include frame-interleaved Dolby Vision metadata in your output. Your input must include Dolby Vision metadata or an HDR10 YUV color space. Use Profile 8.1 to include frame-interleaved Dolby Vision metadata and HDR10 metadata in your output. Your input must include Dolby Vision metadata.

Maximum: 1152000000

Use this setting only when Rate control mode is QVBR and Quality tuning level is Multi-pass HQ. For Max average bitrate values suited to the complexity of your input video, the service limits the average bitrate of the video part of this output to the value that you choose. That is, the total size of the video element is less than or equal to the value you set multiplied by the number of seconds of encoded output.

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 10

Use this setting only when you set Rate control mode to QVBR. Specify the target quality level for this output. MediaConvert determines the right number of bits to use for each part of the video to maintain the video quality that you specify. When you keep the default value, AUTO, MediaConvert picks a quality level for you, based on characteristics of your input video. If you prefer to specify a quality level, specify a number from 1 through 10. Use higher numbers for greater quality. Level 10 results in nearly lossless compression. The quality level for most broadcast-quality transcodes is between 6 and 9. Optionally, to specify a value between whole numbers, also provide a value for the setting qvbrQualityLevelFineTune. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33. MediaConvert rounds your QVBR quality level to the nearest third of a whole number. For example, if you set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and you set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .25, your actual QVBR quality level is 7.33.

H264AdaptiveQuantization

Keep the default value, Auto, for this setting to have MediaConvert automatically apply the best types of quantization for your video content. When you want to apply your quantization settings manually, you must set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than Auto. Use this setting to specify the strength of any adaptive quantization filters that you enable. If you don't want MediaConvert to do any adaptive quantization in this transcode, set Adaptive quantization to Off. Related settings: The value that you choose here applies to the following settings: H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization, H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization, and H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization.

BandwidthReductionFilter

The Bandwidth reduction filter increases the video quality of your output relative to its bitrate. Use to lower the bitrate of your constant quality QVBR output, with little or no perceptual decrease in quality. Or, use to increase the video quality of outputs with other rate control modes relative to the bitrate that you specify. Bandwidth reduction increases further when your input is low quality or noisy. Outputs that use this feature incur pro-tier pricing. When you include Bandwidth reduction filter, you cannot include the Noise reducer preprocessor.

Specify the average bitrate in bits per second. Required for VBR and CBR. For MS Smooth outputs, bitrates must be unique when rounded down to the nearest multiple of 1000.

H264CodecLevel

Specify an H.264 level that is consistent with your output video settings. If you aren't sure what level to specify, choose Auto.

H264CodecProfile

H.264 Profile. High 4:2:2 and 10-bit profiles are only available with the AVC-I License.

H264DynamicSubGop

Specify whether to allow the number of B-frames in your output GOP structure to vary or not depending on your input video content. To improve the subjective video quality of your output that has high-motion content: Leave blank or keep the default value Adaptive. MediaConvert will use fewer B-frames for high-motion video content than low-motion content. The maximum number of B- frames is limited by the value that you choose for B-frames between reference frames. To use the same number B-frames for all types of content: Choose Static.

H264EndOfStreamMarkers

Optionally include or suppress markers at the end of your output that signal the end of the video stream. To include end of stream markers: Leave blank or keep the default value, Include. To not include end of stream markers: Choose Suppress. This is useful when your output will be inserted into another stream.

H264EntropyEncoding

Entropy encoding mode. Use CABAC (must be in Main or High profile) or CAVLC.

H264FieldEncoding

The video encoding method for your MPEG-4 AVC output. Keep the default value, PAFF, to have MediaConvert use PAFF encoding for interlaced outputs. Choose Force field to disable PAFF encoding and create separate interlaced fields. Choose MBAFF to disable PAFF and have MediaConvert use MBAFF encoding for interlaced outputs.

H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization

Only use this setting when you change the default value, AUTO, for the setting H264AdaptiveQuantization. When you keep all defaults, excluding H264AdaptiveQuantization and all other adaptive quantization from your JSON job specification, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. When you set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than AUTO, the default value for H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization is Disabled. Change this value to Enabled to reduce I-frame pop. I-frame pop appears as a visual flicker that can arise when the encoder saves bits by copying some macroblocks many times from frame to frame, and then refreshes them at the I-frame. When you enable this setting, the encoder updates these macroblocks slightly more often to smooth out the flicker. To manually enable or disable H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than AUTO.

H264FramerateControl

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction.

H264FramerateConversionAlgorithm

Choose the method that you want MediaConvert to use when increasing or decreasing the frame rate. For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

H264GopBReference

Specify whether to allow B-frames to be referenced by other frame types. To use reference B-frames when your GOP structure has 1 or more B-frames: Leave blank or keep the default value Enabled. We recommend that you choose Enabled to help improve the video quality of your output relative to its bitrate. To not use reference B-frames: Choose Disabled.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2147483647

Specify the relative frequency of open to closed GOPs in this output. For example, if you want to allow four open GOPs and then require a closed GOP, set this value to 5. We recommend that you have the transcoder automatically choose this value for you based on characteristics of your input video. In the console, do this by keeping the default empty value. If you do explicitly specify a value, for segmented outputs, don't set this value to 0.

number

Format: float

Minimum: 0.0

Use this setting only when you set GOP mode control to Specified, frames or Specified, seconds. Specify the GOP length using a whole number of frames or a decimal value of seconds. MediaConvert will interpret this value as frames or seconds depending on the value you choose for GOP mode control. If you want to allow MediaConvert to automatically determine GOP size, leave GOP size blank and set GOP mode control to Auto. If your output group specifies HLS, DASH, or CMAF, leave GOP size blank and set GOP mode control to Auto in each output in your output group.

H264GopSizeUnits

Specify how the transcoder determines GOP size for this output. We recommend that you have the transcoder automatically choose this value for you based on characteristics of your input video. To enable this automatic behavior, choose Auto and and leave GOP size blank. By default, if you don't specify GOP mode control, MediaConvert will use automatic behavior. If your output group specifies HLS, DASH, or CMAF, set GOP mode control to Auto and leave GOP size blank in each output in your output group. To explicitly specify the GOP length, choose Specified, frames or Specified, seconds and then provide the GOP length in the related setting GOP size.

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

If your downstream systems have strict buffer requirements: Specify the minimum percentage of the HRD buffer that's available at the end of each encoded video segment. For the best video quality: Set to 0 or leave blank to automatically determine the final buffer fill percentage.
